Hey all.
I'm a first time overclocker, and managed to successfully get my AMD Phenom II X6 1035 up to 3.64ghz, however, my computer has been freezing randomly, and I keep having to restart it. My bios settings are pictured below. What do I need to change in order to make everything more stable? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Yeah... don't upgrade CPU, not worth it for just overclocking. Now if it was persistently giving you problems, then I would.



Usually when OCing, things you need to look out for are CPU multi, voltage, and bus speed. For instance, my FX 6300 had (am3+ so a bit different) voltage at 1.4250, multiplier at 20.5, and base frequency 200 mhz.

If you can, try bumping up the voltage and seeing if it helps. If you were overclocking FSB revert that, otherwise I'm not too experienced with these so I really can't help. Good luck though.

I don't know much about AM3 overclocking, only AM3+, but you likely don't have enough voltage. I am unaware if it's safe to add more (think it is) but usually if you increase clocks and you get freezes/BSODs, you usually don't have the voltage present.

Are all my other settings correct? If I got a better cpu such as the 1055t, or 1075t would it have a better chance of overclocking? My motherboard is an AM3 not AM3+. The highest I can go is an 1100t, but I'm a little strapped for cash until the end of this month. =( The most I can dish out is around 100 bucks.
